AusRAIL organiser Informa Australia has called for papers responding to the newly-announced theme for AusRAIL 2016, ‘Rail – Moving the Economy Forward’.
The theme for the conference, which will run alongside this year’s AusRAIL exhibition in Adelaide, is in response to Infrastructure Australia’s recently-released Australian Infrastructure Plan, and Infrastructure Priority List, which highlighted the crucial role rail will continue to play into the nation’s future.
The report showed that across the industry, from freight and passenger rail operations to manufacturing, construction, research, and technological innovation, the efficiency of rail directly impacts our social and economic prosperity.
In this light, Informa has announced the agenda for AusRAIL 2016 will address rail’s role in effectively enhancing Australia’s productivity, liveability and international competiveness, while exploring the policy, planning, funding, reform and collaboration required to ensure a better rail future for all.
Rail Express, as an official media partner of AusRAIL, invites readers to submit a technical abstract for the conference.
The organisers are welcoming 400-600 word abstracts for proposed technical papers in various areas of railway expertise. Areas of interest can include:
- Track
- Asset Management
- Rollingstock
- Signals/Communications
- Electrical
- Industry
- Trade/Export
- Management
- Operations
- Planning
- Project
- Infrastructure
The deadline for abstracts is March 11 (this Friday). Visit www.ausrail.com/submit-2016-call-for-papers/ to submit a form online or forward your abstracts directly to ausrail@informa.com.au.
Authors will be notified of their acceptance in May.
